BETWEEN WILL AND HONESTY BY OLADOKUN SULAIMAN

Between will , honesty and good thinking
Will has got two elements - -1) Knowledge 2) Action - The later
is the consequence of the earlier , action cannot happen until
three things are fulfilled:

-Knowledge- human do not do anything without having knowledge
about it

-Will - human will not do not anything, even if he know unless he
has the has the will

-Strength - and power is necessary to implement will.

The 3 follow sequential order to make an action and this make
action (sinful, pious or lawful) a fruit of will and will a fruit
of knowledge.

At this junction it very important for us to know each other, and
this another place where the basis of differences in us and God
lies - If we don't know ourselves, or about God, we can never
love ourselves , others or God. Therefore mind need to be linked
with acquiring knowledge and therefore strength of mind to make
right choice .Likewise there is close connection between mind and
body-the mind is the ruler and the body is the servant, so
priority lies on which one to take care of .Also of salient
point, is that action without intention is not fruitful to us and
we must make sure we translate our intention into action and this
is where the questionof loyalty comes in.

Loyalty is nothing but truthfulness in talk and action with
sincerity. Six things that characterized a loyal person are:

-Truth in talk , Truth in will ,Truth in promise , Truth in
fulfilling the promise , Truth in action ,Truth in our
relationship with the creature

All this reflect in our inner thought and outer thought-balancing
our outward conduct with inner thought is important measure of
how truthful we are! This is where where conscience actually get
gnerated from --- from experience when we do the bad , it is
based on false ,and the generated conscience w hich become awound
for us to heal - who want to get wound - it hurt to get one, in
the contrary , when se do the goo d, will know it is good ,
because it is based on truth -

Virtue of thinking good --They say 1 HOUR ACT OF GOODNESS IS
BETTER THAN 1 YEAR OF DIVINE SERVICE, Bingo ! this is why good
thought is the key to light, deep insight, door to various
knowledge and path to understanding. It is important for us to
incorporate good thinking in our mind, thinking good is like
mirror that show us virtue and vices, thinking good is the brain
of wisdom, when human mind try to think of good there is lesson
in everything. IN A NUT SHELL DOING GOOD IS BETTER THAN ALL WORK,
NO MATTER WHAT - Good thought is the basis to good action, and it
remain something that comes out of knowledge and condition of
mind. This make it clear that , the creator is actually
interested in that among us - and that is why many things are
different so that we can actually practice good will , that
extend to act of sharing and loving , caring and that give of
ultimate happiness.

Thought is like the flame of light of knowledge as fire appears
between iron and its strike on stone. If fire appears ,eyes see.
Before these eyes could not see ,as a result of this sight,
arouses the entire limbs of the body for action. Similarly, light
flashes mind ,while it sees the real nature of each things. It
changes the mind which could not see in darkness. Following this,
depending on positive or negative side, the object of thought can
be categorized into;

Vice - This has to do with part of our body, like using our tong
to backbite Virtue- This has to do with obligations, if we have
made right judgment Vice of destruction -anger, hatred,
jealousy,,idleness, greed , etc Virtue of salvation -patience,
gratefulness, hope, love, modesty, truthfulness etcVirtue of
salvation is pretty related to God, we must try as much is we can
eliminate vice of destruction, while acquire all virtue
salvation.

we must know the fact that, the only way to think about God is by
thinking about things that he created , do not think over God,
beause we cannot realize his power that way- the only way to
realize is power is by thinking about things that surround us
that he made - wonders.

-World and its contents- Like the eco-system , the differences in
us , the miracle in plant for food and cure , practically
everything God create is useful and has benefit .

-Mountain and mines - The product of mines - gold, silver
emerald, salt think about it

- Sign in the creation of creature - we animals that fly, those
that craw on belly, those with four feet, the way each construct
their habitat, we could not have done their work with all our
might, do you think that the animals do all those things on their
own and they have no teacher .all this prove how mighty is God.
Yet we are the mightiest of all creation.

- Hydrodynamics and worldof ocean- like the position of heart in
water, earth is like a small island in the big ocean.

- Aerodynamics and the worldof air - sign in air and airing
things - the organs which can touch cannot touch the air, when it
flow , eyes cannot see it , the horizon of the air itself is like
the an ocean .everything in it vibrate just as wave of the sea.
If something filled up with air is drown ,itwill not drown - on
the other hand if someone filled up with water is thrown upward
in the air , it will come down the earth - then look at gravity ,
weight and strength of the air,. take a piece of iron put it in
water , it will go down ,neither above water nor in air, so air
does not go down the water despite its light weight .God keep the
boat above water as the boats are full of air . Then look to
thing in air -cloud , thunder,, lightning ,snow, ice- the cloud
bear expanse of water that driven and to distance land to deliver
benefit of water and rain .

- Heaven and stars , sun and moon - look at the sun which revolve
round its axis for one year, taking its course everyday , if not
we will have no night or day , change in its position course
change of season- winter , spring , autumn-when the sun decline
to one from its axis then come winter, when it remain in the
meridian, there appear summer season-astrologer have proven that
the sun is 160 times the size of the earth. The greatest star is
more than 120 times the size of the earth.

-Then look to the creator how He put the sun into the interior of
our eyes, despite its vast figure and energy .look how kept the
heaven without pillar, look at abode of the earth how he created
and sustain it .the ant living at the corner of the palace do not
keep information about the grandeur of the palace, its
attendance, majesty of its owner, so also we live in this vast
earth and do not keep information about the mighty creator and
His attributes- these are the foods of reflection and ponder , we
must think about its creation and not His being ,and this way we
can learn about His glory , prowess and power and this couple
with good deed rich in honesty will give us good intention to
direct us for good will and reciprocal good action .

To this end , we can see it so wonderful , and He so merciful, H
e does not spank for doing bad , He just human , he knows no
matter what the best among us are always there .Alas , nobody can
blame on ignirance , because we are given all tools, tolearn ,
and use what we learn to make decision -- the power choose is a
great thing about freedom and of course to choose right and do
good ,,,,which h is so much interested in --- we have no choise
anyway--- because LIFE AND DEATH IS ACTUALLY MADE TO KNOW WHO ARE
THE BEST AMONG US .
